Gifts of a Sand Dollar

Written by Liz Hekimian-Williams

Continued from page 1

I guess repparttar other day we all just wanted to save this little bit of marine life. We cared about repparttar 111518 little guys in nature. I thought, "now what would happen if ALL repparttar 111519 people who came here took repparttar 111520 sand dollars out to keep as souvenirs? Then we wouldn't have had repparttar 111521 special magic we found for a little while together on that little strip of sand and sea. And my teenager wouldn't have said "That was cool, let's go back there. I liked all repparttar 111522 sand dollars that live there". This straight from repparttar 111523 mouth of a known computer enthusiast who spends as much time as possible accompanied by his computer!

With each passing year I can better see repparttar 111524 importance of protecting and trying to save repparttar 111525 environment and wildlife. Have I been better educated? Am I just more mature? Maybe. But I think it's more because I can see repparttar 111526 picture better through repparttar 111527 eyes of my children who seem to see repparttar 111528 world through a special focus and help me to see some facets that I might otherwise miss.

So let's not give up caring for repparttar 111529 environment just because we think we can't save it all or make a big enough impact. If we each do our small part, then we'll be able to help keep nature's magic around for ourselves and for our future generations to learn from and enjoy. We'll play a supporting role in repparttar 111530 drama of our living environment when we choose to receive and give... repparttar 111531 gifts of a sand dollar.
